Testament have cancelled the upcoming South American tour dates, which had been scheduled for early-September. According to the band's website, "South American dates in September cancelled to record follow-up to their award winning "The Formation Of Damnation"."

The cancelled dates include gigs in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The Mexican dates will go ahead as planned.

When I first read the title of this news bulletin yesterday, I was intrigued. The reason I was intrigued was because I was studying Until yesterday, I was benighted about the fact that they uncancelled the South American dates after finding a session drummer. It sucks that Testament had to cancel these concerts.
